Union Of India vs Raghuwar Pal Singh on 13 March, 2018

8. Hon'ble Supreme Court in Union of India & Anr. v. Raghuwar Pal Singh, (2018) 15 SCC 463 had examined a case, where the appointment letter was issued without approval of the competent authority. The question arose whether such appointment letter would be a case of nullity or a mere irregularity? In case of nullity, affording opportunity to the incumbent would be a mere formality and non-grant of opportunity may not vitiate the final decision of termination of his services. Hon'ble Supreme Court held that in absence of prior approval of the competent authority, the Director Incharge could not have hastened issuance of the appointment letter. The act of commission and omission of the Director Incharge would, therefore, suffer from the vice of lack of authority and nullity in law.
